Solve for x: −3x + 3 < 6 x > −1 x < −1 x < −3 x > −3

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

subtract 3 from both sides, divide both sides by '-3' flipping the sign from less than to more than.

would that be C, cause it's still a -3 but the arrow is facing the left.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

close.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when you subtract by -3 to both sides you end up with -3x<6

hero (hero):

Subtract 6 from both sides. Add 3x to both sides Divide both sides by 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be x < -1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when you devide -3x<6 you get x>2 ( sign flips when you devidde or multiply by negative)
